| Abstract | Engineering properti es of the limestone from Uthong
were determined. Its physical, mechanical and mineralogical
properties were studied in the laboratory. Th e tests
included water content, water absorption, bulk density, Lo s
Angeles abrasion , sonic velocity, Schmidt hammer hardness,
uni axial compressive strength, triaxial compressive
strength, tens ile strength, direct shear test and thin
section studies. The results show that Uthong limestone can
be classified as me dium strength rock with high modulus
ratio. The relation between Schmidt hammer hardness a nd
uniaxial compressive strength can serve as index property
for Uthong limestone . |
